Afaik Hondas are weird with respect to transmissions. That's all I know other than I am too big to work on them or even own one.
NO, shops only call if they think you are worth $$$$$$$.
SO, looking like next weekend(or equivalent) before you have parts and time.
Thanks for the update.

How much of a difference in compression will your newly machined head make? Any significant difference?

Unfortunately, I do not know where I am losing compression, so I do not expect that to improve. It sure would be nice!  |

He is talking about calculating the new compression ratio based on how much thickness was machined off the head. The engine will have a lower cubic volume but a higher compression ratio.
How much did the shop take off? |

if it was done correctly then only the high spots are cut leaving just faint witness marks
otherwise it's whatever up to and including a ruined part

Probably not more than .032", more likely .010" not much compression bump.

I had planned on going out of town this weekend. Normally I want to leave on Friday because my clients cancel at least 90% of the time, but I saw them this week.
I had planned on driving to the valley on Saturday, but Mom decided to go down because my sister was having a big family dinner. As I pulled out of the driveway, my brother said he wanted to check the mail. He handed Mom some envelopes, and then grabbed a box that said Honda.
So, my parts arrived two days early, but I will not be back until Monday. I wanted to open the box and make sure that I had everything, but that seems like a good way to lose parts.
